okay, so at hibdons... they charged me for 2 39.99 for 75w90 full synthetic gear glide diff fluid and 39.99 for 75w140 full synthetic gear glide diff fluid. I am guessing that the 140 is for the rear. they also did my transfer case, but did not list it on here, but i know they changed it, b/c there was fluid residue on the case. i am guessing that one of those 75w90's was a charge for the transfer case, but they just got lazy and didn't put it on there. for the three, $150 for labor HOLY S**T!!!!!
ya so it all cost me $288.97, but i did get a free rotate and balance out of it.

next time i will be doing my own diff change. but it won't be for another 60K which will be 120K miles!!! i hope to keep my jeep for 1,000,000 so I guess you could say that spending money to do it right the first time is a good idea!!!

you better hope they didnt put any 75w90 in the tcase b/c you should have ATF+4 in your tcase

and IMO you got WAY over charged I bought Royal Purple Syenthic 75w140 for $13 a quart times 5 and then two Vavoline Syenthic ATF+4 for $5 each and did it all in my driveway in about 1.5 hrs and only paid $75

yes, i know i did get over charged, my mom paid for it, but everywhere i went, even on here, everyone said something different to add in the diffs, so i jsut took it to them, and they called napa and jeep dealer to verify!

you win some, and you lose some. i guess it's okay since i got my $350 tail lights (both tails and the third brake light) for free!!!
